So I wake up, set the voltage for my cpu lower when I start up (2500k running 4.3 turbo 1.344 vcore! idling at 38c!) And pop open chrome to download prime95 (benchmarking tool), open steam to start some downloads, do some normal stuff.

Well last night I had opened about 10 tabs from ask princess molestia because I wanted to zoom in on the images and read them, forgot about it, and left the tabs loaded so I saw them now and I get a giant big "THIS CANNOT BE FOUND LOL"

You know, the only thing that was ever against APM was the SJW movement, and not even hating on the movement, but their reasons for disliking it: Either everything is funny, or none of it is, just because you dislike something doesn't mean you can shit on someone else's parade because they do like it. The thing people should do is not visit the blog, crazy concept eh? stay away from things you dislike?
The thing that infurates me the most is that the blog that started all this has shit like this on it, not just because they have a different opinion of jokes (they are called jokes, not a serious, and it's a joke, not a dick, don't take it so hard trololololololol) but they didn't even have a basic understanding of the blog other than "omg molestia"
Don't get me wrong, Sexual Assault is a terrible thing to do, and it is 100% serious, but equating Sexual Assault = Jokes about Sexual assault are two completely different things, and you also have to look at the context of it. There can easily be light hearted jokes or implications of something that is really extremely dark, hmm let's think of an example, oh yeah, you know that one episode of that one show My Little Pony where Twilight murders 30-40 pinkie pies, but "it's okay because they weren't the real pinkie". But even then, let's assume context doesn't matter, let's assume jokes about it are insensitive and harmful, now what are we left with? A blog that makes jokes, using words. If I say something to the effect of "nigga gotta gets me some fried chicken" It might offend some people (and some people reading this are probably made uncomfortable by my usage of words, but you know what? Too bad. Sure, I will be curteous and generally not use language around people that makes them uncomfortable, but these people are ones nice enough to let others say use that word, enjoy that blog, or do things as long as it isn't near them (or leave if it is being done near them) not only because it's their responsibility to manage what they do and don't like and how to deal with it, but because they don't say "I hate x word so nobody should say it!" and it is exactly the same with blogs. Don't like the blog, don't go to it. Thread on your favorite site about it? Don't click it. Don't like rape jokes? Don't go to a blog with "molest" literally in its title.
I'll be back, gonna git me sum coffee.

The shit I don't understand is that for the most part (I haven't seen the whole blog, but I've been watching it more closely since the Molestia bru-ha-ha a couple months back) the sexual bits weren't even rape related (that I saw).

I really liked the art for that blog. It was a nice water-color-kind of style that was really slick. That blows it's gone.

There were a few sorta rapey bits. Kinda. But they were few and far between, and super obviously jokes.

...

But hey, people lost their shit over Dickwolves (and continue to lose their shit over it), when that joke relied on rape being the worst thing that could possibly happen to someone. Soo.... Yay tumblr. I guess.

nonono, I have decided it isn't femenism, in the same way it isn't say Christianity wanting creationism in schools (not trying to cause a shitstorm) but that the people in the post modern femenist movement are all posers that move into a group, then whine to eachother when there are things they don't like (see: anything) It happened in gaming and now with ponies.

Completely 100% with you on this. I hadn't even heard of these stupid "DWM" people until now.
Take away something from other people because you dont agree with it when it affects you in zero fucking way. Brilliant. Also taking it all down, if it was his decision, is shitty of him to do to his 60,000+ fans without so much as a fucking goodbye, or final strip. Just NOPE, GONE. FUCK YOU. I'M DONE.
More than anything else, i'm just sad about it. APM was one of the things that really got me into the fandom and I checked it every day for updates because it made me laugh and cheered me up when I was sad. Now its gone because a bunch of dickholes can't leave shit that doesn't interfere with them alone. I fucking hate people.

At the time of my post, the only real information I had was that it was gone. I only ever followed APM, so I didn't know anything about his other stuff. I didn't even see the button strip til after the fact.

While I am indeed happy that AGL is now here, I was upset more about the lack of resolution for the story threads that were running through APM. I assume they'll be continued in the new tumblr, but Joseco said he was moving on to non-pony stuff.

...Also, i'd argue that a "welp its over, not going back, thanks if you liked it, bye" isn't a decent goodbye by any stretch.

If JJ did it because of SJWs and not on his own accord, I would be so angry. If he did it because he was tired of it (like crookedtrees did with ask Pinkamena) then I'll be sad, but it's better than a bunch of spoil-sports ruining it for the rest of us. Comedy is an art form and getting mad about a joke (no matter the subject) is completely stupid and limits the creative freedom of artists.

Even if he did it of his own accord he should've kept it up for archival purposes, which makes me think it might have been the SJWs but he wanted to act like it was of his own accord. You would think having a blog with literally hundreds of posts would increase your popularity, even by just leaving it there.

I agree that he should have left it up for archival reasons or maybe put up a link for a .zip archive or something on his mod blog. I also agree that deleting it outright is a sign of JJ being tired of all the harassment.
